项目摘要

The University of Rhode Island’s (URI) Graduate School for Oceanography (GSO), located in Narragansett, RI, will host a Research Experience for Undergraduates Site program. The program, called Summer Undergraduate Research For Oceanography (SURFO), will bring ten to twelve undergraduates to the GSO campus each summer for a ten-week internship. SURFO research experiences are designed for science, math and engineering students who will have completed their junior year of studies. GSO has extensive research facilities and many mentors who are available to support undergraduate research projects. SURFO interns use their quantitative STEM background in projects, for example, involving fluid dynamics and transport, biogeochemical transformations, ecology and diversity, autonomous platforms and exploration and discovery. A SURFO's research may include, but is not limited to, laboratory work, field work, data analysis, instrument development, and model simulations of the ocean realm. SURFO students develop an individual research topic under the mentorship of a URI faculty member, Marine Research Scientist or Post-Doctoral Fellow and carry out a program of research from the proposal-stage, to conduct and analysis, and concluding with the dissemination of their results in an oral presentation and a written document. The written document is in either journal manuscript or NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Proposal format. Recruiting efforts include continued work with the Puerto Rico - Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (PR-LSAMP), Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), the NorthEast LSAMP, and resources identified by the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Society and The Oceanography Society.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

位于罗德岛州纳拉甘西特的罗德岛大学 (URI) 海洋学研究生院 (GSO) 将举办本科生研究体验现场项目，该项目名为暑期本科生海洋学研究 (SURFO)，将带来 10 至 12 名学生。每年夏天，本科生都会到 GSO 校园进行为期十周的实习，这是专为即将完成大三学习的科学、数学和工程学生设计的。 GSO 拥有广泛的研究设施和许多导师。 SURFO 实习生在项目中利用其定量 STEM 背景，例如涉及流体动力学和运输、生物地球化学转化、生态学和多样性、自主平台以及探索和发现。 SURFO 学生在 URI 教职人员、海洋研究科学家或博士后的指导下，进行实验室工作、实地工作、数据分析、仪器开发和模型模拟。研究员并开展从提案阶段到进行和分析的研究计划，最后以口头报告和书面文件的形式传播其结果。书面文件可以是期刊手稿或 NSF 研究生研究奖学金提案。招募工作包括继续与波多黎各 - 路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟 (PR-LSAMP)、墨西哥裔/西班牙裔和美洲原住民科学促进会 (SACNAS)、东北部合作。 LSAMP 以及美国地球物理联盟、美国气象学会和海洋学学会确定的资源。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
